Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Machinery at none against Trial by Trivia's shown. Tiny Machinery also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 38%). Trial by Trivia's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Trial by Trivia sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Machinery sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trial by Trivia holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trial by Trivia has 324 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Trial by Trivia's written reviews are positive against 54% of Tiny Machinery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Trial by Trivia ships an update every 5 days, Tiny Machinery every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
